Chapter 60: Sprain

At this time, Yun Xiangxiang did not know that although this small wish was intended to distance herself from this family, it ended up forging an unbreakable bond between them which would only grow stronger over time.
At night, Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t take it anymore after not bathing for a few days. Previously, a nurse had already asked her if she needed help in rubbing her body.
However, Yun Xiangxiang did not like the thought of others touching her body. Other than her face and limbs, nobody had ever touched other parts of her body before.
Her hair felt a little oily as well. Yun Xiangxiang asked Shu Yun to help prepare her clothes. After having her dinner and reading a book for a while, she proceeded to take her stuff to the toilet.
“Nobody had used the bathtub before. You may use it.” Song Mian raised his head from reading his documents and told her.
“Thank you.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded politely.
There was a bathtub in the bathroom. Shu Yun had already told Yun Xiangxiang before that this was Song Mian’s private ward.
No woman had ever stayed here before. It was also Song Mian’s second time visiting this place. There was also no woman that had ever visited him before, so the female toilet was still brand new.
Other than the cleaners that came to clean the toilet to kill germs and replace daily necessity products, no one else had ever touched or used the toilet.
No matter if it was in a hotel or other places, Yun Xiangxiang never liked lying in a bathtub.
The only exception was the bathtub in her private room, where she could confirm that she was the only one that came in contact with it. Now that she felt weak, and this bathtub was new, she was not reluctant to use it.
As she turned on the tap water, she also opened the cupboard attached to the wall. Inside were a few traditional looking ceramic flasks, which looked exceptionally special. On it were labeled showering skin conditioner, hair shampoo, and a flower essential oil.
Yun Xiangxiang took it and smelled the scent of it. The smell was very mesmerizing, and while the scent was not thick, it was not plain either. It was just at the right spot, which made a woman unable to resist the temptation to smell it.
During her past life, Yun Xiangxiang liked to use an organic white rose essential oil brand. Although it was expensive, it was a really good product to use.
Yun Xiangxiang considered herself knowledgeable in the field of essential oil. However, she was not able to determine the scent of it.
However, since it was placed here, it meant that she could use it. It would be such a waste to not use such a good product.
These kinds of concentrated essential oils would damage the skin if she put too much inside, so she dropped just a few drips into the bathtub.
The bathtub was filled with hot air, with a fragrance circulating the steam. Yun Xiangxiang just finished cleaning her body, and was feeling very tired. The bathroom was airy and warm, which was the perfect temperature. Without realizing it, Yun Xiangxiang dozed off in such a comfortable environment.
After almost an hour later, Yun Xiangxiang still hadn’t come out yet. Because of how good the soundproof system was, Song Mian did not know the situation inside.
“Knock knock…” Song Mian knocked the bathroom door lightly.
Yun Xiangxiang was shocked by the knocking sound, and opened her eyes in fatigue. She then realised that the water had no more warmth. Luckily, the weather was warm, so the bathroom was still warm as well.
Yun Xiangxiang forcefully stood up, and covered her body with a towel as she was coming out from the bathtub. All of a sudden, her legs suddenly felt weak, and her whole body fell down.
“Ugh…” Although Yun Xiangxiang managed to grab the sides of the bathtub at the very last second, the leg that did not manage to step out from the bathtub was seriously sprained. The sharp pain caused her eyebrows to frown.
The knocking sound was still ongoing. Yun Xiangxiang knew that the soundproof system was very good, so she held in her pain and walked to the side of the bathtub, and pressed on the emergency bell.
As soon as the emergency bell rang, Song Mian somehow managed to open the door. He immediately pushed the door, and entered the bathtub. At this moment, someone else had also rushed into the room with panic written all over his face.
Song Mian looked at Yun Xiangxiang who was in the bathtub, and gave out a cold order to the person who opened the door. “Spray, ice bag, bandage.”
Yun Xiangxiang already tried her best to wrap herself up using her towel in the bathroom. However, her painful expression made Song Mian step forward and carried her.
As he carried her, the first thing that came to his mind was “So light”.
As Song Mian carried Yun Xiangxiang back to her bed, someone had already brought a medical kit over.
Song Mian held onto Yun Xiangxiang’s feet and looked at her swollen ankle. He then spun her ankle in a special way. Surprisingly, Yun Xiangxiang, who was feeling tense, did not feel the pain get worse.
“No bone fractures, no dislocations.”
An ice bag was given to Song Mian, which he then placed over Yun Xiangxiang’s ankle.
Song Mian was very gentlemanlike. Other than the bottom of her knees and her head, her other body parts were covered very tightly by her blanket. However, Yun Xiangxiang was in a bare state, and a man was holding her leg. The cold ankle was a great contrast to the hand holding her ankle.
This made Yun Xiangxiang uncomfortable.
“You go out first. I’m still here.” It was as if Song Mian saw Yun Xiangxiang’s discomfort, he ordered the doctor who sent the medicine to go out.
“But your injury …”
Before he completed his sentence, Song Mian quietly stared at him. He immediately stopped talking, turned around and left silently.
“Just let the nurse help me …” Yun Xiangxiang said softly. Although he did not look any different to a normal person, and he even carried her for a while just now, she knew that Song Mian was still recovering. Who knows if his wounds would have any problems later.
If this person with prestige ever suffered any problems, she would not be able to handle the repercussions.
“Your blood sugar is too low. Next time, don’t bathe for more than half an hour. Before bathing, you can eat a piece of chocolate.” Song Mian interrupted Yun Xiangxiang’s thoughts to prevent her from feeling awkward.
He went in to look at the traces just now. Yun Xiangxiang just slipped. However, the leg that was sprained wasn’t the one that slipped, as the bathroom had a floor which was slip-proof. This could only mean that Yun Xiangxiang slipped because she lacked energy to support herself.
If the legs are weak after showering, it was either the bathroom was not airy enough, and too much carbon dioxide would cause it. Otherwise, the other reason would be because of low blood sugar.
“Okay.” Yun Xiangxiang nodded, and remembered what he said seriously.
Her serious look caused Song Mian’s lips to curve softly. “I’ll ask someone to give you the medicine tomorrow.”
“Thank you.” Yun Xiangxiang would never reject the offer. She held her life dearly, and also loved to be healthy.
The atmosphere got better all of a sudden. As Song Mian’s gaze laid on Yun Xiangxiang’s hair which was covered by her bathing hat, she called Shu Yun in and asked her to blow Yun Xiangxiang’s hair dry.
Although it was just a small sprain, but Yun Xiangxiang still felt weak on her limbs, and did not force herself to move. She was super grateful for Shu Yun’s help.
After Song Mian placed the cold towel on her leg, he pressed on the swollen part with the suitable strength for about half an hour, and sprayed a medical spray on it. After that, he used a soft but stretchable bandage to bandage her ankle. After that, she lay down on the bed with two pillows supporting her ankle.
“Lie down for half an hour.” Song Mian told her. After that, he stood up and brought his own stuff into the bathroom.
Yun Xiangxiang was prepared to feel painful for one or two days. However, she did not expect the feeling of uncomfort to disappear after just half an hour. Even the swelling had completely disappeared, as if she had never sprained it before.
This caused Yun Xiangxiang to feel shocked.
“Don’t exert too much force over the next twenty four hours.” Song Mian told her before saying, “Sleep early, and good night.”
